Project Stay In Your Home

Introducing Project Stay in Your Home

The Salvation Army Redding Corps began a homelessness prevention program called Project Stay in Your Home In January 2018.
• This program helps individuals and families to remain in their homes.
• Introduced budgeting and goal setting.
• Strives for long term success for both the owners/landlords and the renters/leaser/home owners.

2023 Project Stay in Your Home Facts
• 18 Households included 40 men, women and children staying in their home and keeping them off the streets.
• $14,175.00 in rental/mortgage assistance. (An average of $800,00 per household.)  We are able to help more families as the funds increase.
• $720,000.00 savings to the community of Shasta County. (The average homeless person costs our community $40,000 per year.*)
• 100% of funding goes to direct services.

Vulnerable Populations and Homelessness

Single-parent families are among the poorest in the nation, and as such, are extremely vulnerable to homelessness.**

Successes and facts from 2023

Homeless Adults

Homeless adults are provided with a purchased Greyhound Bus Ticket to "return home" with our project "I Want To Go Home" to a rehab facility. 

Children Experiencing Homelessness
• Have higher levels of emotional and behavioral problems
• Have increased risk of serious health problems
• Are more likely to experience separations from their families
• Experience more school mobility, repeat a grade, be expelled or drop out of school, and have lower academic performance. ***

Senior Adults
45% of adults age 65 and older were “economically vulnerable” with incomes below 200% of the poverty threshold.
